Patent number: 7554752Abstract: The lens embraces a bulk-shaped lens body identified by a top surface, a bottom surface and a contour surface, and a well-shaped concavity is implemented in the inside of the lens body, aligned from the bottom surface toward the top surface. The lens body has geometry such as bullet-shape or egg-shape. A ceiling surface of concavity implemented in the lens body serves as a first lens surface, the top surface of the lens body serves as the second lens surface, and inside of the concavity serves as a storing cavity of a light source or a photodetector.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: Labosphere InstituteInventors: Satoshi Tamaoki, Hirao Ohta, Akihisa Minato

Patent number: 7344264Abstract: A first light-emitting unit (11a), a second light-emitting unit (11b), . . . are disposed near a tip vicinity of a spinner cover (1) of a propeller (2). The first light-emitting unit (11a) embraces a first bulk-shaped lens of bullet-like, and a semiconductor light-emitting element is installed in a cavity of the first bulk-shaped lens. The second light-emitting unit (11b) embraces a second bulk-shaped lens of bullet-like, and a semiconductor light-emitting element installed in a cavity of the second bulk-shaped lens. The first light-emitting unit (11a) and the second light-emitting unit (11b) are formed so as to be able to attach to and detach from the spinner cover (1) as an attachment (4) for bird strike protection.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Labosphere InstituteInventor: Satoshi Tamaoki

Patent number: 6332703Abstract: A lighting device 10, having a light irradiation portion 11 comprised of light-emitting elements; a freely turnable flexible shaft 12; extendible portions 13 that support the said flexible shaft at the base, house the flexible shaft, and provide a nested housing for each one of the extendible portions within one another; a drive portion 14 that drives the light irradiation portion; a power supply portion 15 that supplies electric power to the drive portion; and a case 16 covering the drive portion at least, which more preferably covers the extendible portions, as well. Moreover, this includes ones having a spring mechanism that allows said extendible portions and said flexible shaft to freely extend, and by the spring mechanism, as the flexible shaft extends, said nested extendible portions can be extended in succession.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2000Date of Patent: December 25, 2001Assignee: LAB.
